Pantone™ PMS 177 C

Ordering PMS 177 C as a Pantone match means you are requesting color matched to the Pantone PMS 177 C visual reference standard. This ensures your paint is formulated to target the appearance of PMS 177 C under standardized conditions, but it is not a proprietary Pantone formula or a specific coating process. The Pantone PMS code communicates the intended color but does not define the type of paint, finish, or performance. To get the best result, always specify the finish and product format that suits your application. Do not use Pantone PMS matches for touch-up, repair, or applications that require matching aged or previously applied coatings.

The choice between matte and gloss for PMS 177 C paint affects how the color appears in your display. A gloss finish often makes the color look brighter and more saturated, which can maximize visual impact but may cause glare in strong lighting. Matte reduces glare and can provide a more even appearance, especially for large or close-range applications, but may look slightly less vivid. Consider viewing distance and lighting at the installation site when making your choice. Test samples under your conditions if appearance is critical.

The appearance of PMS 177 C can change in different lighting conditions because the color is viewed as a visual standard, not a lighting-independent code. Cool daylight, fluorescent, or warm incandescent lights can all shift how the pink and coral tones appear. Always evaluate PMS 177 C samples in the exact lighting and finish planned for your project to ensure it aligns with your expectations for brand color. This is especially important for high-saturation colors like PMS 177 C.

Specifying PMS 177 C as a standard Pantone match is appropriate for branded displays, signage, exhibit elements, marketing installations, and prototypes where visual alignment with the Pantone reference is the main goal. This approach works best when brand consistency and fast turnaround are more important than matching a specific substrate or pre-existing material. For projects that require color approval under installed conditions or involve multiple materials, test a sample painted in PMS 177 C before finalizing your order.

Unfortunately, no.

Some manufacturers specify Pantone colors as touch up for their products, but Pantone does not work well as a proxy for a touch-up solution (for a litany of reasons such as it doesn't include sheen and Pantone color tolerances are not tight enough for touch up). When we match Pantone colors we are matching to a swatch in a Pantone book - not to your product.

The only way we can provide a touch-up solution for your product is for you send us a part. We would use the part to create a touch-up grade match. Unfortunately, there isn't an effective way to 'spec' the color well enough to produce a touch up without the part.

To make spray paint matched to Pantone PMS 177 C. MyPerfectColor uses an acrylic enamel which is a fast-drying durable coating suitable for interior or exterior use. MyPerfectColor custom spray paint enables you to conveniently achieve a professional spray-smooth finish in any color in any sheen. It sticks well to most surfaces including metal, plastics, powder-coatings, cabinets and primed or previously painted wood.

The 11oz spray will cover about 20 square feet per coat. Keep in mind that it is difficult to gauge how much spray you'll need as it is highly dependent on how it is applied. It is better to have too much than run short.

While MyPerfectColor can provide PMS 177 C in paint, we don't provide any crossover information. We've found that every paint company offers its own unique selection of colors and rarely does a color have an exact equivalent in another company's color collection, especially for a color collection like Pantone which is designed for bright colors and inks.
